Hi!

@ Oliver,
about A/B test I refer to the email of 13 Jan 2016
by Deborah Tankersley
[discovery] New A/B testing on Wikipedia Portal page
however, yes I would like tobe included in A/B tests in general, not a
particular one.
I m mostrly interested in full text search, knowledge discovery and
discovery of topics' context.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search

Not much clear to me yet, sorry.

I will rephrase my question:
I would like to do a full-text search (FTS) query, have the pageids and
decorators.

I also would like to have results hit (I see them in API:Search,
list=search); I would like to access the page_Ids of articles (see them in
generators).

I would like to understand if the backend between two is different, since
I've read list=search use an ElasticSearch instance, and it seems to me it
is faster and better FTS (not tried extensively, through).
Also, list=search offers a snippet and may be less expensive for wiki
server instead of quering an exerpt - is it the case?

I pass:
params = {'action':'query', 'generator':'search', 'gsrnamespace' : 0,
'gsrsearch' : keywords, 'gsrlimit' : 20 , 'prop' : 'pageimages|extracts',
'pilimit' : 'max', 'exintro' : '', 'explaintext' : '', 'exsentences' : 3,
'exlimit' : 'max', 'redirects' : '' }

would like to do the same with list=search.

Could you please show an example of FTS with list=search ?

Not clear to me how coudl I pass a list to a generator, if it is the case.

Thank you.
